1999 Bodegas y Viñedos Alion - Ribera del Duero DOC - 1 Magnum (1.5L)

For sale: a rare Magnum (1.5L) of Bodegas y Viñedos Alión 1999, the historic first vintage produced by the Alión estate under the Vega Sicilia group. The bottle is in excellent overall condition, featuring a high fill level into the neck, a perfectly preserved label with no wear or discoloration, and an immaculate capsule, intact and free of oxidation or damage. Early Alión Magnums are extremely hard to find, especially with such pristine presentation. Although this specific vintage was not formally scored by Robert Parker with an official number, the early Alión releases consistently aligned with the 90point quality range in the Wine Advocate scale, showcasing concentrated Tempranillo fruit, polished tannins, and significant ageing potential. The bottler, Bodegas y Viñedos Alión, was created by the legendary Vega Sicilia family to express a more modern and international style of Ribera del Duero, combining old-vine Tempranillo with French oak ageing to produce depth, structure, and elegance. This Magnum, thanks to its large format and flawless storage, remains suitable for further ageing, with another 5–10 years of potential development. It is also fully ready to drink now for enthusiasts of mature Ribera del Duero, offering evolved notes of dried blackberries, leather, cedar, tobacco leaf, balsamic tones, and subtle oak spices. Shipping is available throughout the European Union only, using certified, shock-proof professional packaging designed for large-format bottles to ensure safe delivery. No shipping outside the EU.
